You live in Nova Scotia, therefore certainly have a well. Now Schroedinger's rabbit, confined to your well, will, unless the well is infinitely deep, have a finite probability of quantum tunnelling out of the well.

Once escaped, there will be an equal probability that the rabbit can be observed anywhere at all outside of the well.

Outside of any of your windows, or near Peterborough. Even in my backyard.

Now, I was out for a smoke earlier and watched three (3) rabbits gambling around there. They weren't all the same size (or colour) so I formulated the hypothesis that they may have been observations of the same Schroedinger rabbit at different stages of its ex-well development.

This could be evidence of time travel or of quantum entanglement.

What do you think?

You've been on the sauce?

Come on Novo, you know very well that by observing the event you changed the outcome.

No, he did say he'd been out for "a smoke". Maybe it's what he was smoking ! Maybe there are 420 rabbits by now. White ones maybe. You'll have to ask Alice. ;)

WITHOUT OBSERVATION, THERE IS NO RABBIT.

Do you have a little bunny casino at the end of your garden then?

Hare as in Lepus americanus, the popular north American hare known as the snowshoe rabbit? ;)

Indeed they do. They give the punters rabbits' feet for good luck ! ;)

Have you seen the rabbit recently? I haven't. Not since my daughter put her wellies on and went out there "to grab it".
